It may be still be a few months away however the professional investors will already be preparing their stock portfolios for 2010. Research into various companies, sectors and countries are all a part of this research. So where will be the places to invest for profit in 2010?
Before I continue I would like to make one thing quite clear; I am not a financial adviser therefore you should not see what I write as financial advice. I am just another run of the mill guy who likes to play the stock markets. For me it is a bit of a gamble and a bit of fun. By trade I offer a business cost reduction service, a stuttering therapy service (I used to have a stutter myself) and I am also involved in company that offers a professional DVD duplication service.
I am personally attracted to companies that are investing their way through this recession and the ones that are making acquisitions. It has to be said that there has possibly never been a better time to buy a business. There are many small business owners seeking to sell up and this is where a bargain could be had.
The companies who do invest are the ones that are likely to make the most profits when the gloom and doom of this credit crisis lifts. It is all about ensuring that you are best placed out of all of your competitors when business starts to boom again.
As for the regions I am looking to invest in; I am liking the look of China, India and Russia at the present time. A slightly riskier proposition is the Japanese stock market but is one that could easily shine next year.
I wish all of the readers a prosperous 2010! Steve Hill from the UK, invester of the year 2094! OK maybe not invester of the year; how about investor of the century lol.
